This is an Addendum 8 to the Invitation for Bid (IFB) documents issued by the City of Austin, Texas, for the FM 812 Landfill Leachate Tank Connection project (IFB No. CLMC1077, C.I.P. No. 5698.017). The addendum, dated March 25, 2026, modifies the original bid documents issued on September 22, 2025, and specifically revises the bid submission deadline and opening time. The project involves connecting leachate storage Tank A to Tank B, connecting Tank B to an existing municipal manhole, and installing new pumping and metering systems, including approximately 4,089 linear feet of HDPE and PVC piping, pump replacements, control panels with motorized valves, flow meters, level switches, and replacement of fiberglass ladders with aluminum alternatives. The addendum revises the bid submission deadline from May 2, 2026, to May 7, 2026, with all bids and compliance plans due at 2:00 PM Austin time, and bid opening scheduled for 3:00 PM Austin time on the same date. Contract time for substantial completion is 150 calendar days after Notice to Proceed, with final completion required within an additional 30 calendar days.

Bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of the addendum on the bid form, and failure to do so may result in disqualification. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site meeting were initially scheduled for October 8, 2025. The City of Austin has determined that no specific Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE/WBE) goals are appropriate for this project; however, if subcontracting occurs, bidders must comply with the City's MBE/WBE Procurement Program and document Good Faith Efforts to use certified MBE and WBE firms. All bids must include a bid guaranty of at least 5% of the total bid amount, and performance and payment bonds are required for 100% of the contract amount. Liquidated damages are assessed at $850 per calendar day for substantial completion delays and $500 per calendar day for final completion delays. Bidders and all contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the City of Austin prior to contract award and execution, respectively.
